'06 Stangs, windows...

hi there...
on an '06 GT coupe, when you open the door, does the window open up slightly so when you close the door it doesnt damage the rubber trim lining?

I know this is the fact for the '07 stangs.

thanks all!!

The feature is not really intended to avoid damage to the weatherstrips, its because today's cars are so air-tight that it can be difficult to get the door to close all the way due to air pressure.

Well it is done for that reason too. Have you tried to shut the door with the battery unhooked? I have, BANG is what you hear and it WON'T close.

My passenger window needs to drop a 1/16" more. When I shut the door the window seal near the mirrow occassionally hits the molding around the door. Anyone know how to recalibrate the window drop? It's no big deal, I just push down on the seal before shutting it, but it still bugs me...

Make sure the doors are closed when you do this!



Proper operation of the short drop glass requires that the windows be
calibrated. Though your windows will have been calibrated before
your vehicle is delivered to you, it is possible for the windows to
lose calibration. If a window loses its calibration, your short drop
feature will lower the window, but will not raise it again when the door is
closed. To re-calibrate the window, pull the switch up to raise the
window until it completes its travel and hold the switch up for 2
seconds.

Another possible effect of lost calibration is that the feature
may not lower the window. To re-calibrate the window in this case, lower
the window until it completes its travel and hold the switch down for 2
seconds. Immediately after releasing the window down switch, pull the
switch up to raise the window until it completes its travel and hold the
switch up for 2 seconds.

Perform Short drop re-calibration with
doors closed only. Re-Calibrating with doors open will cause the
window to continuously bounce back.

Mine opens/closes fine when window drop not working. Window has been frozen a few times already with no issues opening or closing.
